Chronic

Catarrh destroys the sense of smell and
taste, consumes the carriages of the nose,
and, unless properly treated, hastens its
victim into Consumption. 1t usually in

ulcers and eruptions, through the blood.

have always been more or less troubled
with Scrofula, but never seriously until
the spring of 1882. At that time took
severe cold in my head, which. notwith-
standing all efforts to cure grew worse,
and finally became chronic Catarrh.
It was accompanied with terrible head
aches, deafness, a continual coughing, and
with great soreness of the lungs. My
throat and stomach were so polluted with
the mass of corruption from my head
that Loss OF Appetite, Dyspepsia, and
Emaciation totally untitled me for bust
ness. l tried many of the so-called spe-
cites for this disease, but obtained no
relief until commenced taking Ayers
Sarsaparilla. After using two bottles of
this medicine, noticed an improvement
in my condition. When I had taken six
bottles all traces OF Catarrh disappeared,
and my health was completely restored. -

From the Durango Herald
For several months Peter Horndyke a we'll

been coming to Durango on weekly visits, buying
each time all the beef hides he could find. AS he
took the hides mountainward many wondered to
what purpose they were being put. A reporter

was going to do with so many hides.

Isolation of Plumbing Fixture.

G. F. Wingate in The Chstauquan.
All sanitary appliances should, as far as POSI-
BILE, be isolated from the living portion of the
dwelling. In England it is recommended to locate
such fixtures In tower or extension cut OF from
the rest OF the house by double doors; and where
this can be done without risk OF freezing it is to
be recommended.
one OF the most frequent faults to be found in
American houses is the multiplication of plumbing
fixtures for the convenience Of the inmates scat.
tered without consideration and without sufficient
reason all about the house. 1t is difficult to render
such arrangements safe without large outlay in
safeguards, and even then an unnecessary risk Is
incurred by lack OF simplicity. Basins may be
very convenient in sleeping rooms but they are
extra hazardous. Better walk few steps farther
to obtain running water than to invite OdOrs into
sleeping rooms by pipes connected with the sewer
or ceSs-poOl.
readily accessible. They should be exposed to

As steam pipes are rendered ornamental by guild
Ing or brOnzing and are fully exposed to view.
there Is no reason why other pipes should be hid
den. II pipes are enameled or nickle-plated there
can be no objection made to their exposure In
parlOrs or drawing rooms they can be hidden be-
hind movable panels or carried within closets
Where this arrangement is termed unsightly It
is best to carry all soil pipes In recesseS In the
walls, which should be made suf1ciently large
for convenient caulking OF joints. These re-
cesseS should be closed at the celler ceiling.
SO as thoroughly to exclude any odors from
that source Col War1ng also advises closing
them at each floor as an additional precaurion.
